Rrrrrrrright, but you see my point: if you experienced it with your senses, it's not beyond human senses. Unless you're not human.
Doesn't mean that any return to psychedelic shamanism would be any improvement though.
Well of course you do: you just want to blind people to the "truth"* that you, as a non-white, get given free money, houses and hugs while decent...
Diversity doesn't mean "let's all get together" or "let's displace whites." Diversity just means a broad range of different traits within a...
Meh, you kinda took over the "is society a cult?" thread. :D
What a ridiculous analogy. There's a quote from Vivian Stanshall (as Old Sir Henry), that "if I had all the money that I'd spent on drink, I'd...
Then again, what if we didn't become a single culture before making first contact? Would the aliens prefer one culture over another? Could they...
A different tack, then: if everything that exists is perfect, how can we have a concept of imperfection to compare it to? [/derrida]

Well yeah. I wouldn't ever argue that there was a god. Then again, substitute unicorn for "King George III". I personally have no idea what he...
Something you might be interested then: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/E-prime I've tried to write without using "be", "is", "am", and fuck me is...
We can conceive of non existent entities all the time such as unicorns and ghosts with out worrying about it to much. Indeed, but we are...
Well, define "progress". But no, I'd say the problem here is that we're working with an ill-defined understanding of "perfection". Something is...
If it's beyond human senses, how could you or anyone possibly know about it?
I would, at this point, like to distance myself as much as possible from your point of view. It is one thing to criticise religion, to oppose it...
Yeah, we're kind of looking at the situation from the wrong end. We see laws of physics that seem perfect, but we have no basis for thinking that...
Indeed, and yet it has been the basis of so much religious philosophy over the ages, a cyclic argument that God must exist because the world is so...
Possibilities: They were a crap kisser. You were a crap kisser. You weren't in the right frame of mind to enjoy it/. You're not gay/bi. I know...
Existence is a form of RACISM.
I believe the standard rebuttal is "no, it's love of money that's the root of all evil." Which isn't a great argument coming from anyone.
